The Big Picture Alan Moore, the iconic comic book writer behind classics like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, and Batman: The Killing Joke, has openly expressed his long-standing disdain for adaptations of his work. However, in a departure from his previous stance, Moore went a step further, declaring that he no longer desires to receive any portion of the profits from future adaptations, either for film or television.

A Generation of Infantalized Adults Moore added that he no longer felt the same connection to comic books as he had done in the past, having also decried the continued love of superhero films as "infantalising" a generation of adults, stating his own disturbance at viewing “hundreds of thousands of adults lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys — and it was always boys — of 50 years ago.
